I started looking into F# last year and the switch from C# was easier than expected. In my case, I didn't just fire up Visual Studio (Code or Pro) to start fiddling. I started reading. And I thought I would share a list of resources I've appreciated during this journey.
This post will be updated continuously. Feel free to provide tips. Initially it started out as a tweet:
Books I've read to get started with #fsharp
— Daniel Wertheim (@danielwertheim) February 13, 2019
1) Get programming with F# by @isaac_abraham
2) Domain modelling made functional by @ScottWlaschin
3) Stylish F# by @kitlovesfsharp
Which book should I also read?
Get programming with F#
I think this is a good "get up to speed book" when you have prior experience to e.g. C#. At least it worked for me.

Domain modelling made functional &
F# for fun and profit
A part from having an excellent site with tons of good F# contents, Scott also has a very good book, which shows how F# can be used to put together expressive domain models with very little code.

Stylish F#
Could very well have been the first or second book, but it was my third and I've used it a bit as a refresher and lookup book. Works well.

Concurrency in .NET
This book works both for C# developers and F# developers that want to learn tips and tricks about concurrency in .NET.

Suggestions?
Feel free to make me aware of other resources I should look into.
